Lyrics:
If I ruled the world (Imagine that)
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
Black diamonds and pearls
(Could it be, if you could be mine, we'd both shine?)
If I ruled the world
(Still living for today, in these last days and times)

Bro please that era was full of bs commercial ass music too. In fact that was the era when the garbage first really started taking over. I remember vividly. A lot of pure hip hop artists spent whole songs and whole albums talking about how tired the game was getting. Even Nas caught flack that year for this album. It was considered too commercial by his fans who were hoping for another Illmatic, they hated the mafioso Nas Escobar persona he flexed on most of the album.

The greatest to ever do it.
"Open their eyes to the lies, history is told foul but im as wise as the old owl, plus the gold child" - NAS
Nas did an in-store record signing in NYC the week the “It Was Written” album was released. It was at the old HMV music store that used to be on the corner of 34th Street and 6th Avenue. There must’ve been at least a few thousand people lined up for this signing. I arrived in the early afternoon and was in the very, verrrrry back of the line. Security closed off the line a dozen or so people behind me so nobody else could line up. They also put wristbands on everybody so people couldn’t keep joining the line after it got closed off. The crowd was massive extending and wrapping around the entire perimeter of those blocks. The vibe was amazing. Nas’s music was being played all day. Although we were all strangers to each other, we were talking to each other like we all knew each other. When I needed to go to a nearby public restroom or get a quick bite to eat, the people near me would hold my spot till I returned. At one point Foxy Brown pulled up to the front of the store in a jeep waving to everybody. The line was moving slowly but it moved. We were there for hours. I was getting increasingly worried later on because they said he was scheduled to do this till let’s say 6pm and by 5pm there must’ve been at least 500 people still in front of me. Security at one point came to the back saying that we probably won’t get to see him. I was upset and so was everybody else around me. One fan was freaking out and crying. When Nas was scheduled to leave, he was told there were still a lot of people waiting outside. He told them he’s not leaving until everybody with a wristband got to see him and get their album signed. By the time I got to see him it must’ve been 7pm or so. He looked drained from signing so many CDs. He looked a bit high too. I could smell the blunt odor from him. 😆 Anyway we shook hands street style. I thanked him for staying longer for his fans and I told him I grew up in the same neighborhood as him (Long Island City). He smiled and asked me my name and I told him it’s “Hector”. He either misheard me or was a bit out of it and wrote on my CD “Yo peace to HELTER! Nas” 😆 We shook hands again. I left with a big smile on my face and a very nice memory.

This shit has aged like a fine wine🔥
Imagine Lauryn's verse if she'd been given more than a sampled hook.. We ain't ready.

Nas was sooo fucking smooth man. Just like the bars. His fit in the end that full Camo getup. Hard. Jay could never. Top 3🔥🔥🔥🔥
Real hip hop. None of this murder music we have today. Just positivity

Yo this Playlist I'm grateful to be putting it together..cause this is all I grew up 2 young...bet. #💯
This track having only 12 million some views in 2021 is EXACTLY what is wrong with the world! I vividly remember my cousin and I driving back from hoopin in june of '96 when this joint first aired...I get goosebumps every time I hear it! So thankful for having experienced the 90s era

Every lyric, from Nas to Lauryn Hill is deep as hell IN EVERY SONG they ever make.
Great intro how Nas snapped and Lauryn started to sing.
